Backup Your Data
How to save everything before changing the hardware that you use or before you depart with ISB.
Take Your Google Data With You - for Teachers and Staff
Google Data
After you leave, your ISB account will be deactivated. Your content will be deleted. We cannot help you recover your data once you have departed from ISB.
Before you begin, please become familiar with these guidelines on removing sensitive information.
There are two ways to export your data; please read the Option's intro and choose what works for you.
Option 1 - Copy to new drive
If you would like to 'move' your data from your ISB Google Drive to a personal Google Drive, the process outlined below is recommended. But first... please make sure that you have enough space on your personal drive. Your personal drive is limited to 15GB by default.
In your ISB Google Drive:
- Create a folder where you will place all the files you would like to keep.
- Move the files and folders that you want to keep into the new folder.Share the folder you created with your personal account.
- Transfer the ownership of your newly shared folder to your personal account (right-click the newly created folder and select Share one more time, expand the Editor submenu, and select Transfer ownership.)
Option 2 - Download your Data:
You can choose to download an archive of your files as well. This process is easier than the copy method, but Google Apps documents (docs, sheets, slides…) will be converted to Microsoft-compatible files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint…).
- In your ISB Google Drive, right-click on a file or folder that you would like to download.
- Select “Download” from the list of options.
- Save the downloaded archive to an external hard drive or a personal cloud storage service (a personal Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).

Chrome Problems and Fixes
How to Clear Cache, Restart, Update
Lately, Chrome started to misbehave – not loading pages, failing to sign in, bad rendering, etc.
We found easy fixes for all the situations.
First things first – if you have a big Update button in the upper right corner, click on it and select ‘Relaunch to update Chrome.’ Do not worry; Chrome will reopen all the tabs that you have active.
The update usually fixes all the known problems because it restarts Chrome. We also discovered that Creative Cloud (Acrobat, Photoshop, etc.) fails to log in, and it’s not letting you use the installed Adobe apps until you update.
If you are connected to the internet but all the new pages are blank; usually, the fix that works is restarting Chrome (do not worry, there’s an easy way to reopen all your tabs.)
Right-click (click with two fingers) the Chrome icon in the Dock and select Quit. Then, reopen it.
If your tabs do not reopen – click the 3 vertical dots from the upper-right corner, hover over History, then the numbered tabs, in this example 4 Tabs, and click on Restore window.
If your tabs are still blank, restart the laptop from the Apple symbol in the upper-left corner – Restart.
If Chrome displays a page incorrectly or it fails to sign you in, clear the cache and try again.
Click the 3 vertical dots from the upper-right corner and select Settings.
Click on Privacy and security in the left panel and select Clear browsing data.
Uncheck Browsing history, choose All Time under Time range, and click Clear Data.
Reload the page and try again.
If everything fails, please go back to Settings, extend the Advanced menu in the left panel, and click on 'Restore Settings to The original Default'. Select 'Reset Settings'. Your Favorites and Passwords will not be erased, but Chrome will disable all your Extensions.
Office - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - No editing rights
If you discover that Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or any other Office apps, do not let you edit your documents, please follow the steps underneath to fix the problem.
- If the problem persists, please let the IT department know at ithelpdesk@isb.be
Bring the app into focus, and click on its name on the top bar (in our example Word); from the drop-down list, select Activate Office.
In the window that pops up, select Already bought Office? Enter your password and Sign in. Start Using Word.
Copiers and Printers

Xerox Copiers - Copy, Print, Scan (work in progress)
|
If the copier is on standby, scan your card or press the Home button to wake it up.
|
|
|
Print Release: Computer: if not already the default, select the 'XeroX-Papercut' printer and press Print.
Copier: Swipe your card to log in and select the Print Release option. Select the job that you want to print and press Print. Log out by pressing your name, the sign-out icon next to your name, or by swiping your card again.
|
|
|
Copy: Swipe your card to log in and select the Copy option. Put the document you want to copy in the tray that will give you the best/fastest results (arrows 1 or 2), and press Start (4).
For simple pages that are not stapled, creasy, too thick, etc., you can use the ADF (automatic document feeder) on top of the copier (1). The ADF will rapidly scan all the pages. To scan both sides automatically, press the '2-Sided Copying” option (6) on the display and change it as desired.
If your document is a book, maybe it is stapled, you need/want to use multiple small pages at once, etc., please open the lid and place the original/s on the glass (2).
If you want the results on a different type of paper (thicker, colored, labels, etc.), please open and use the side tray (3), which you can find underneath the small tray noted with X (the X tray is used for faxes). Please remember that once this tray is opened, the copier will prioritize it.
Copying defaults to black and white; you can change to color from the Output Colour (5) option.
If you scroll down, you can find more interesting options, like Reduce/Enlarge, Finishing (staples, hole punch, folding), or Booklet Creation. Mirror Image, Book Copying, or Page Layout (for when you want multiple pages on the same page). ETC. |
|
|
Scan to Email:
Swipe your card to log in and select the Email option. Press Send, and the Copier will scan all the pages in the ADF or the one from the glass. A PDF will be sent automatically to your email.
The 'To:' field is automatically set to your email; if you want to send the email to somebody else (it only works internally), you can add it/them to the Cc or the Bcc by pressing the 'Add Recipient' field. You can erase your email and add a different one if you click the 'To:' field. You can also change the 'Subject:' with something more meaningful.
Under Options, you can find more interesting options: To scan multiple pages and create a single PDF without using the ADF, toggle the Preview Mode. The Send button will change to Preview. Press it to open the preview menu. Here, you can press on the big + to add and scan another page, reorder, or delete unwanted pages. Press Submit when ready to send the email.
If needed, you can ask the ADF to scan both sides of the documents by pressing the '2-Sided Scanning' option.
If you want to create a searchable PDF, in which you can select the text and copy-paste it, you can click on the “.pdf” button, select More, and in the File Format menu that pops up, select Searchable - Yes.
From the same menu, you can change the type of file to be attached to the email - '.jpg' is a picture and is usually smaller than a .pdf
If the copier has problems guessing the content orientation or the size, you can change it from “Original Orientation" and 'Original Size,' respectively.
To enhance the scan further, scroll down, click 'Show Additional Features' and select a bigger 'Resolution.' Do not send too many high-resolution JPEG/PDFs simultaneously; the server will block the email because of the active size limitations. ETC. |
|
Xerox Copiers - Enlarge/Reduce
From Copier:
Sign in, place the originals on the glass, and choose Copy. Scroll to 'Reduce / Enlarge' and select 'Auto' from the pop-up menu.
Select the needed size from the following menu - usually A4 or A3 - press OK and Start.
If you need a different size than the copier usually has in one of its trays, for example, A5, you will have to open the side tray and place A5 paper in it (not the X one, the one underneath). The copier will try to guess what type of paper you added - correct it if it chooses wrong.
In the rare cases when the copier does not recognize the size of the original, or you want to extend/reduce the scanning area, please select 'More' instead of 'Auto' after selecting the 'Reduce / Enlarge' options. In the occurring menu, you can play with the percentages or select a premade preset - for example, from A3 to A4 or from A4 to letter (8.5x11).
From Windows: (If you print from a Mac, please jump to the next section)
Most apps cannot interact with the copier's menu directly. After pressing print, we must find the Xerox settings in the print menu. In Adobe Acrobat, for example, we need to press on 'Properties...'; in Chrome, 'More settings' and 'Print using system dialog...'; in Word, 'Printer Properties.'
If the Windows Print menu pops up á make sure that Papercut_Xerox is selected and click on Preferences.
In the Xerox print menu, go to the Printing Options tab, extend the Paper menu, and from 'Other Size' - 'Fit to New Paper Size,' select the needed size. OK - Print - Print.
If you need a different size than the copier usually has in one of its trays, for example, A5, you will have to open the side tray and place A5 paper in it (not the X one, the one underneath). The copier will try to guess what type of paper you added - correct it if it chooses wrong.
From Mac:
Most apps cannot interact with the copier's menu directly. After pressing print, we must find the printer settings in the print menu. In Adobe Acrobat, for example, we need to press on 'Printer...'; in Chrome, 'More settings' and 'Print using system dialog'.
In the new pop-up window, scroll down to 'Paper Handling,' extend it, and turn on 'Scale to Fit.' Under 'Destination Paper Size,' select the needed size.
If you need a different size than the copier usually has in one of its trays, for example, A5, you will have to open the side tray and place A5 paper in it (not the X one, the one underneath). The copier will try to guess what type of paper you added - correct it if it chooses wrong.
Xerox Copiers - Booklets
Please keep in mind that not all copiers are created equal; only some of them can make a booklet, perforate, staple, or fold your print/copy job. However, if the nearest copier cannot do what you have in mind, do not fret. Print the job and find the closest copier with the capabilities you need. No matter where you print, the job will be visible on any of the school's copiers when you log in:

*Almost all the copiers in the school can print or create a booklet, but only a few can fold it and staple it.
** If you need to create more than 10 booklets, please use the copiers outside the MHS library or plan your printing with the schools' GOs. When creating booklets, the copiers must print on both sides, fold, and staple. This could take a long time, and nobody else would be able to use them.
How to Create Booklets from the:
Copier:
Sign in, place the originals in the Automatic Document Feeder, choose Copy, and scroll down to see the options. The default copy mode is black and white; if needed, please change it to Color from the Output Colour option.
Select the Booklet Creation option and More. In the pop-up window - On and OK. Then, choose the paper size that you want to use. If A4 is chosen the resulting booklets will be A5. With A3, the booklets will be A4. Press OK again.
Mac:
(If you print from a Windows machine, please jump to the next section.)
Most apps cannot access the booklet menu directly. After pressing print, we must find the printer settings in the print menu. In Adobe Acrobat, for example, we need to press on 'Printer...'; in Chrome, 'More settings' and 'Print using system dialog'.
In the new pop-up window, scroll down to 'Printer Options', extend it, and select Xerox Features. Click on the 'Finishing' box and select from the drop-down list 'Booklet Creation...'
In the 'Booklet Creation' menu, select the appropriate 'Booklet Finishing' for your case, usually 'Booklet Fold and Staple' and, from 'Scale to New Paper Size:' the paper size to be used. Usually A3 (for A4 booklets). A4 (for A5 booklets).
Press 'OK', then 'Print' and 'Print' again to send the job to the copier.
Windows:
Most apps cannot access the booklet menu directly. After pressing print, we must find the printer settings in the print menu. In Adobe Acrobat, for example, we need to press on 'Printer...'; in Chrome, 'More settings' and 'Print using system dialog...'; in Word, 'Printer Properties.'
Press 'OK', 'OK' again, and 'Print' to send the job to the copier.
XeroX-Paparcut Missing on Mac? Install it from Self-Service
If XeroX-Papercut is not in your list of printers, please install it from the Self-Service portal.
If Self-Service (the icon with the ISB logo) is not present in the dock, please search for and open it using the magnifying glass (Spotlight) in the upper-right corner. In the window that opens up, scroll down to find the XeroX-Papercut printer in the list and click on Install.
The first time you print to the new copiers will require your password. Do not forget to mark 'Remember this password.'
If the password window does not pop up or your print jobs are stuck saying 'Hold for Authentication,' click the reload sign (screenshot on the right) and insert your email password in the new pop-up window.
Good to know: In rare cases, the operating system could prefill your username (Name) with your email. Please erase @isb.be and continue as above.
Once the print jobs disappear from your queue, you can find them at the copier (click here for instructions).
XeroX-Paparcut Missing on Windows? Install it from \\paper
If you cannot find the new XeroX-Papercut printer in your list of printers, please open a folder and copy-paste \\paper into the location field. Press enter and double-click Papercut_Xerox from the list of printers to install it.
Reopen the print menu and select Papercut_Xerox from the list of printers.
Xerox Printing - Jobs Stuck in the Queue - Fixes
If you cannot find your queue, please open it from System Properties (settings) - scroll down to Printers and Scanners - and double-click on XeroX-Papercut.
Hold for Authentication fix:
Usually, when your print jobs get stuck in your queue with the message Hold for Authentication, you need to input your username and password to convince them to leave.
Click the reload sign (right panel) and insert your email password in the new pop-up window. Mark 'Remember this password' before pressing OK.
Once the print jobs disappear from your queue, you can find them at the copier level.
Good to know: In rare cases, the operating system could prefill your username (Name) with your email. Please erase @isb.be and continue as above.
Hold for Authentication usually shows its ugly head the first time you installed or reinstalled the printer, when you change your email/system password, after logging in on a new computer, or after a reimage.
Ready to Print fix:
If your print jobs stay in your queue with the message Ready to Print, the usual fix is to make sure that you are connected to ISB and then press the Play button in the upper right corner.
Once the print jobs disappear, you can find them in the copier queue.
Good to know: printing only works if connected to the ISB network.
If you print and the Mac cannot communicate with the printer, it automatically pauses the process.
It could happen if you are not on the ISB network. For example, if you do not want to forget and print something from home.
Unfortunately, the Macs do not resume printing when the communication is reestablished, not even when you print something new.

iPads
Apple Classroom
Apple Classroom
Classroom is installed on all teacher's iPads. If you need Classroom on a different iPad please send an email to ithelpdesk.
The student iPads do not need the app installed.
Before you ask the students to connect to your classroom please make sure that all the iPads, including the one that you use, are on the same network (ISB), and that the Bluetooth is on. The devices need to be near each other for this step, 1-2 meters.
To learn how to set up a class (0.14), how to invite and add students (1.05), how to use the options, check on, and manage the students' iPads (3.15), please watch the underneath 8-minute video.
Shared iPads ES
Initial setup and other essential things that you need to know.
Please assign an iPad per student and ask them to try to use the same one every time.
We numbered them 1 to 15 on the left and 1 to 15 on the right:
The benefits of using the same iPad are:
- Fast log in. Instead of going through the initial setup on a new iPad, the students can select their names from the list and insert their passwords.
- After logging in, they will not have to wait for the server to move and apply all their photos, documents, and settings from the last iPad they used.
First, Sign in.
- Please ask the students to insert their email address and press Sign in. example@isb.be
- Insert the email password (without the 0 for returning students / with 0 for students who started this year)
- Ask them to select their preferred language in the next window – usually English; and the location – Belgium.
- Press continue when asked to change the settings for Written and Spoken languages.
- The iPad will then ask the students to create a password. Please ask them to use the same password that they use to log in to their laptops (with the 0) but to capitalize the first letter.
- In a few seconds, the iPads will create their accounts and log them in.
- Important step – when they are done working on the iPad, please ask the students to log out.
- Press the power button twice; the screen will go into standby and come back. Press Sign out in the lower-right corner.
Shared iPads HS Art
Initial setup and other essential things that you need to know.
Please assign an iPad to the students and ask them to try to use the same one every time.
I put a sticker on all of them.
The benefits of using the same iPad are:
- Fast log in. Instead of going through the initial setup on a new iPad, the students can select their name from the list and insert their passcode.
- After they log in, they will not have to wait for the server to move and apply all their photos, documents, and settings from the last iPad that they used.
First Sign in:
- Please ask the students to insert their email address and press Sign in. The email address format is as follows: example@isb.be
- Insert the email password
- Ask them to select their preferred language in the next window – usually English; and the location – Belgium.
- Press continue when asked to change the settings for Written and Spoken languages.
- The iPad will then ask the students to create a password. They can use the same one that they have, but because the requirements imposed by Apple are stronger, they'll have to add a number and a capital letter. They can add Q1 at the end of their regular school password if they want, or they can use something else entirely, but it needs to be at least eight characters long, have a capital letter, a symbol, and a number.
-
Please ask the students to write down their passcodes – it is going to be the same regardless of what iPad they pick, but because they are not using them daily, they are very likely to forget them.
- In a few seconds, the iPads will create their accounts and log them in.
- Important step – when they are done working on the iPad, please ask the students to log out.
- Press the power button once, then a second time; the screen will go into standby and come back.
- Press Sign Out in the lower-right corner.
Mac, getting started
Tips and tricks for beginners.
Where are my menus? (File, Save As, Print, Insert, etc.)
On macOS, the majority of the apps do not carry the menu bar on top of their windows. The menu is anchored at the top of the screen and changes depending on what app is in focus.
If no apps are open, the available menu is the Finder’s (File Explorer / My Computer) menu. If you need to access the Finder’s menu, a fast way to do it is to click on an empty space on the desktop.
How do I minimize, maximize, close an app, exit full screen?
To exit full screen, you can press control+command+F at the same time, or you can push the mouse cursor against the screen's upper edge, forcing the menus to appear- click on the green button again to exit full screen.
On a Mac, the difference between closing and minimizing an app became vague in time. Minimizing an app keeps it active in the dock (taskbar) while closing it, forces the app in a standby state. The app is still active and ready for future use.
If an app has a dot underneath its icon, it means that it's still active, either minimized or in standby mode.
To truly close an app - maybe it became heavy, and it slows down the whole system (I'm looking at you Chrome) or is misbehaving, and it needs a restart – right-click (click on it with 2 fingers) its icon on the dock and select Quit from the contextual menu that appears.
How do I take a screenshot?
Press together Shift, Command, and 3.
A thumbnail with the screenshot will appear in the lower-right corner of your screen. You can click on it to edit the screenshot. Or wait 1 second for the thumbnail to disappear – the screenshot will automatically be saved on your desktop.
To capture a portion of the screen, press and hold together Shift, Command, and 4.
Your mouse pointer will change into a crosshair. Drag the crosshair to select the area of the screen to capture. To move the selection, press and hold Space bar while dragging. To cancel taking the screenshot, press the Esc (Escape) key.
To take the screenshot, release your mouse or trackpad.
A thumbnail with the screenshot will appear in the lower-right corner of your screen. You can click on it to edit the screenshot. Or wait 1 second for the thumbnail to disappear – the screenshot will automatically be saved on your desktop.
How about a window or menu?
Open the window or menu that you want to capture and press these keys together: Shift, Command, 4. Press the Space bar once, the crosshair will change into a camera icon. Click the window or menu to capture it.
A thumbnail with the screenshot will appear in the lower-right corner of your screen. You can click on it to edit the screenshot. Or wait 1 second for the thumbnail to disappear – the screenshot will automatically be saved on your desktop.
What can I do with the editing tool?
1 – scribble; 2,3 – add shapes or text; 4 – highlight the selection; 5 – sign; 6,7,8,9 – change the shape, size or color or the scribbles, shapes or text; 10 – rotate the screenshot; 11 crop; Revert – undo; Done – save on desktop; Trash -?; Share – attach to email, share it with other Apple devices, add it to photos, etc.
What about my keyboard shortcuts? (Copy-paste, print, find, etc.)
For most of them, use the '⌘ command' key instead of the Windows' darling, Ctrl.
You can find underneath the most used shortcuts in alphabetical order. Please read the last phrases if what you need is not on the list.
Close window or tab: ⌘ command + w
-
-
- Reopen closed tab: ⌘ command + shift + t (Safari, Chrome, etc.)
-
Copy: ⌘ command + c
-
-
- Paste: ⌘ command + v
-
Cut: ⌘ command + x
Cycle through all open apps: ⌘ command + tab
Cycle through browser tabs: ⌘ command + options + arrows (← →)
Find: ⌘ command + f
Find and replace: ⌘ command + Shift + f
Force quit an app (task manager style): ⌘ command + option + esc
Minimize window: ⌘ command + m
New: ⌘ command + n
Paste: ⌘ command + v
Print: ⌘ command + p
Quit: ⌘ command + q
Rename file: select the file and press return (Enter)
Reopen closed tab: ⌘ command + shift + t (Safari, Chrome, etc.)
Save: ⌘ command + s
Search (for apps, documents, etc.): ⌘ command + spacebar
Select all: ⌘ command + a
Undo: ⌘ command + z
Where can I find the whole list?
Open System Preferences, select Keyboard and go to the Shortcuts tab.
OK, OK, but where are my function keys? (F1, F2… F12)
Press and hold the Fn key (the first key in the lower-left) - the Control Strip will show the old function keys.
What's up with the Control Strip?
The Control Strip is in flux, and it tries to show the most used actions or shortcuts when needed. The screen brightness and the system volume controls tend to be there all the time, but the buttons will change depending on the in-use app. You can select back-forward, search, new tab, and so on, while browsing, or play, pause, and jump to, when listening to music or watching a video.
The Control Strip can also be customized to show other buttons if needed. For example, I do not use Siri, but I need to lock my screen every time I leave my desk. I've changed the Siri button with the lock-screen one.
To customize the Control Strip, open System Preferences, select Keyboard, and click on Customize Control Strip. If what you need is in the list, grab it with the mouse cursor and drag it into the Control Strip. Press Done.
What if the shortcut that I need, or usually use on Windows, it's not available on Mac?
You can try to create it using the underneath tutorial:
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/create-keyboard-shortcuts-for-apps-mchlp2271/mac
Where are my Documents, Apps, Downloads?
On a Mac, My Computer (or File Explorer) is called Finder (1). Its shortcut is usually the first one in the dock (1). You can also invoke it by pressing Option+Command+Space, or by searching for Finder.
By default, everything that you download or receive through Airdrop goes into the Downloads folder (2).
Almost all productivity apps (Word, Pages, Excel, etc.) will ask where you want to save your work; the default save location is your Documents folder (3) or, rarely, your Desktop (4).
All the apps are installed in the Applications folder (5).
If you remember the name of the app or document that you need, you can also use Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the upper-right part of the screen) to search for it.
Mac - Install Software - Self Service
Self Service is a software distribution platform from where you can install apps on Mac machines.
If Self Service is not present in the dock (the icon with the ISB logo) please search for and open it using the magnifying glass (Spotlight) in the upper-right corner. In the window that opens up find the app that you need in the list, and click on install.
The list of applications is constantly being updated. We are trying to add all the usually requested apps. If what you want/need to install is missing from the list, please let us know by sending an email to IThelpdesk@isb.be, and, if possible, we will make it available for you in the Self Service portal.
Depending on the application, the installation can take between 1 and 30 minutes. When done, the Install button usually changes to Reinstall. To start the installed application, search for it as you did with the Self Service.

Update MacOS
Due to changes in how macOS is being updated, you cannot update your school computer by going into System Preferences.
To bypass the administrative needs, we have deployed an application in Self Service.
Please note that once started, the process cannot be stopped.
Follow these steps to update your Macbook:
- First, open the Self Service (the ISB Icon in the Dock)
- Search for the application called Update MacOS and click on install.
- Enter the password you use to login into your Mac.
If you don't see the pop up, restart your Mac and start the process again. (Click the Apple logo at the top Left corner, then Restart)
- The update process will start. If the MacOS Installer is not downloaded, you will see the following message
Once the MacOS Installer is downloaded, the update will start and take from 30 min to an hour.
After it restarts and the installation process is done, you might not see the bubble with your user on the login page.
To fix it, you need to restart your computer.
Your username is your email address without @isb.be.
The password is the same as the one you usually use to log in to the computer.
Accessing ISB Drives
ISB has many drives. To connect to one, follow these steps:
Open a Finder window:
In the top bar, click on "Go" and then "Connect to Server":
Type in the name of the server:
Be sure to put smb:// before the name of the server or it won't be able to connect
You will be prompted to sign in, this should be the same user details as you use to sign in to your email:
Select the folder you wish to access:
Click ok, you are now connected to the drive:
If the window doesn't open, you will see an icon in the top right corner of your desktop which you can click to open the drive:
Microsoft Authenticator app (setup)
Using the Authenticator app instead of the phone/text system is more convenient, secure, and most importantly it will still work if you change your phone number (while on leave or vacation, for example). Here are the steps to set it up.
Scan the appropriate QR code with your Android or IOS mobile device to install the app.
(If the QR code does not work, you can follow these links to the Google Play or App Store.)
Open the Microsoft Authenticator app, allow the notifications (if prompted), select Add account from the Customize and control icon on the upper-right, and Work or school account.
Note: The first time you set up the Microsoft Authenticator app, you might receive a prompt asking whether to allow the app to access your camera (iOS) or to allow the app to take pictures and record video (Android). You must select Allow so the authenticator app can access your camera to take a picture of the QR code in the next step. If you don't allow the camera, you can still set up the authenticator app, but you'll need to add the code information manually.
Go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info on your computer and log in with your ISB email and password. Most of the time, the portal will automatically log you in.
On the Add a method page, select the Authenticator app from the list and choose Add.
Select Next, and Scan the QR code page appears. Scan the provided code with the Microsoft Authenticator app QR code reader, which appeared on your mobile device.
(This one is an example)
The authenticator app should successfully add your work or school account without requiring any additional information from you. However, if the QR code reader can't read the code, you can select Can't scan the QR code and manually enter the code and URL into the Microsoft Authenticator app.
Select Next on the Scan the QR code page on your computer. A notification is sent to the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile device, to test your account.
Approve the notification in the Microsoft Authenticator app, and then select Next. Your security info is updated to use the Microsoft Authenticator app by default to verify your identity when using a two-step verification or password reset.

Parents -> Contacts
Instead of each student having mother/father information ( repeated for each sibling ), parent Contacts are now their own entity. They also have their own Portal accounts ( rather than sharing between a family ), but only if they have specified a valid email address. SSO will be implemented for these Parent Contacts during the summer of 2022.
Now to view the parents of a student, Admin users should not use the
Parents pages, but should instead use the Contacts
screen. This displays the name, email, relationship, main phone number,
address and whether or not the child lives with them ( main/secondary
family ). If the Contact has a Portal account associated with them, Data
Access will be ticked.
